Kandiyohi County approves resolution to seek state funds for low‑interest septic loans
Summary
The board approved Resolution 2025‑15 to apply for Minnesota Pollution Control Agency funding to continue a county low‑interest loan program for upgrading septic (SSDS) systems.
Kandiyohi County commissioners voted May 20 to approve Resolution 2025‑15 authorizing the county to apply to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for additional funding to continue a low‑interest loan program for septic system (SSDS) upgrades.
The resolution, introduced by Krista Krupa, environmental specialist for Kandiyohi County, directs staff to submit the county application and work plan to the MPCA so the county can continue offering low‑interest financing to landowners upgrading sewage treatment systems.
Krupa told the board the county has offered the loan program since 2001 and has loaned about $7,565,000 to date; additional allocated funds for systems already in queue would push the total above $8 million. Commissioners voiced support, noting water quality benefits. The board approved the resolution by voice vote.
The action allows county staff to pursue state funds for the county SSDS loan program; no additional county appropriation was specified during the discussion.
Krista Krupa and county staff will proceed with the application as directed; commissioners asked no substantive follow‑up questions at the meeting.
